Veteran middle-order batsman Suresh Raina says that he still has a lot of cricket left in him and wants to play for India once again

Suresh Raina says that he still has a lot of cricket left in him. Raina was an integral member of India's World Cup 2011 and Champions Trophy 2013 triumphs. Later, his struggle against the short-ball was exposed and the bowlers used to bowl that delivery to dismiss him early. From 2016 onwards, he started losing his place in the Indian squad as he did not feature regularly. Raina was last seen in the Indian jersey during the England tour in 2018.

The 2011 World Cup winner also mentioned that he had put in a lot of effort in order to get into the Indian team and then revealed that the big players always supported him during his bad phase and believes that he still has a lot of cricket left in him.
